Tell Me Why follows the story of two brothers, Alyson and Tyler. They both lived their childhood in a small town in Alaska, Delos Crossing. However, their lives were marked by the death of their mother, who passed away under strange circumstances. Years later, they both return to town to sell the family home. As they set foot in the place, the memories awaken, so they begin to investigate on their own what really happened that night at Delos Crossing.

Narrative adventure with a trans character
This production has an LGTBI protagonist, a transgender person who has been played by a member of this community. In the vein of other Dontnod Entertainment titles, the game offers a narrative approach that uses classic mechanics of narrative adventures. Therefore, the decisions directly affect what happens in the plot of the video game.
The French studio, known for its work on Life is Strange, has grown with a new studio in Canada. It is not clear if this saga will be resumed, at least not with Dontnod Entertainment at the helm. Still, nothing has been announced in either direction yet. Not surprisingly, the developer continues to maintain its independence, which is why it has worked with publishers such as Bandai Namco, Microsoft or Square Enix.
Tell Me Why was published by Xbox Game Studios on Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC.
